Grew up in Southern California, developing a completely natural and all-consuming passion for In-n-Out Burger. Developed a twin obsession for film after catching a matinee of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" when I was 14 years old, and stumbling out of the auditorium with a goofy grin plastered across my face. Idea of nirvana: Lounging in my private theater as film after film marches through my DVD player, a perpetual wad of Double-Double tantalizing my tastebuds like cud.

Miraculously, I don't weigh 800 pounds.

Perhaps that's because I now make my home in the wilds of northern Colorado, 800 miles from the nearest In-n-Out Burger.

Today, I cohabitate with my wife Barb, my daughters Harper Danae and Sophie Anne, and my miniature poodle Cujo (who thinks he's a rabid St. Bernard). By day I work for a magazine publisher, and by night I try to be a good father to two amazing little humans.
